What Is Elementor and WooCommerce?

To do this, click on the desired element and set the correct parameters. You can change the font size, pictures, padding, add various effects, etc.

WooCommerce is a WordPress eCommerce plugin. With its help, you can create a full-fledged online store to sell goods and services without much effort. If you combine the power of WooCommerce and Elementor, you can easily create product pages, galleries, checkout, account and archive pages, catalogs, and various badges.

How to Create a WooCommerce Website With Elementor?

WooCommerce has dozens of add-ons for increasing functionality and customization. Almost all of them are supported by Elementor. Generally, it’s a great combination. WooCommerce is responsible for the functionality, and Elementor has the design covered. 

JetWooBuilder plugin for custom WooCommerce pages

Elementor is a great plugin that makes your tasks easier. But it has WooCommerce functionality only in the PRO version. Often, these widgets can’t help with all design and development tasks for customizing WooCommerce-built pages. 

Crocoblock has two plugins for such tasks — it’s JetThemeCore and JetWooBuilder. While the first is for making custom website templates (both for Block Builder and Elementor), JetWooBuilder is specifically designed for WooCommerce to add all the blocks you might need. 

So, first, let’s look at what JetWooBuilder is.

JetWooBuilder widgets

JetWooBuilder is a Crocoblock plugin that allows you to create:

  • custom page templates;
  • a grid or list of goods;
  • shop-specific pages;
  • products carousels;
  • category cards;
  • taxonomy tiles;
  • single product rating;
  • reviews section;
  • promotion and sale badges;
  • payment and delivery forms;
  • and much more.

The plugin has over 60 widgets that solve any problem when creating an eCommerce site. You can use ready-made templates if you want to save time and not create pages from scratch. They are customizable, so you can make needed designs in just a few minutes.
